Method for automated retune of telecommunications data in a wireless network using ericsson equipment

Abstract

A method and system are provided for updating data in a database associated with a wireless network. The wireless network includes Ericsson equipment that is used pursuant to a digital retune of the wireless network. The method includes receiving call-specific data as user input through a command handling window; generating one or more commands to update call-specific data in the Ericsson database using the user input; generating scripts to update the call-specific data in the Ericsson database; and, executing the scripts. This embodiment can also be implemented in a system performing the method or on a computer-readable medium.

Description

(Not Applicable)(Not Applicable)1. Field of the InventionThe present invention broadly relates to wireless network methods and systems, and more particularly to methods and systems for gathering data, performing database updates, and / or generating report information associated with a wireless network.2. Description of the Related ArtTelephone communication has seen phenomenal growth since its inception because of its extreme usefulness in today's world. Modern telephones include generic desktop telephone units, cordless telephones and more advanced cellular telephones (or "cell phones"). In contrast to a cordless telephone unit, a cellular telephone allows portability in that a cell phone operator can use the cell phone thousands of miles from home and is supported by a sophisticated telecommunications system.A cellular service provider's network includes a number of interconnected cellular switches or mobile switching centers (MSC's) that facilitate cell phone portability in the ne...

Problems solved by technology

Due to this increased number of translations or changes in software settings, entering retune information manually is rapidly becoming prohibitive from a productivity perspective.

Currently, retune is being performed manually, and it takes considerable time and resources to retune a site in this manner.

Also, such manual procedures can introduce human errors that may further frustrate efforts to resolve problem analysis and resolution.

In addition, when one or more fields in a call-specific database need to be changed, manually completing the updates can require a prohibitive amount of time.

Such changes are also typically prone to human error occasioned by manual data entry operations.

In addition, data related to calls occurring within a given geographical area are not always susceptible to effective reporting.

If the same field in several records in a form needs to be changed, which can be a frequent occurrence, manually changing the forms can be a tedious job that is prone to human error during data entry.

When one or more fields in an ECP form need to be changed and this change needs to be done for several records in the form, manually performing updates can require a prohibitive amount of time and effort prone to human error.
